СƵ Parks made a post to Instagram yesterday letting people know a little bit about the popular Joffre Lakes Trail, issuing some advice, and a stern warning.
More than 6,000 hikers visit the park every weekend, and the parks service politely reminded people to “please remember to pack out what you pack in, stay on the trails, do not feed the wildlife, and remember dogs and other domestic pets are prohibited.”
Local Sea to Sky politicians and СƵ Parks have been grappling with ways to reduce the amount of users to this park that Instagram made famous. From to , and now eliminating cars parked on the side of the highway.
Ending the post is a note regarding visitor parking. Typically there’s a line of dozens of metres of vehicles parked along the highway. They note that the parking lot and overflow fill up around 10am each morning, then issue the warning that “Cars parked along the highway this weekend will be towed.”
